—Ephesians 6:5-9

In our society, we often celebrate a rise to power. We are told to take advantage of every opportunity we are given to increase our authority and influence. However, it is important to remember that to have the power to make decisions that change another person’s life is a great burden. As we rise in power, we have more control over those who rank lower than us. We cannot forget that, in the end, we all have the same God to answer to and we must honor His will above our own. If we keep God’s will for our lives in the forefront of our minds, we will continue to be worthy of the power we have been given.
